Skull and Shackles

Diary of a Samurai- Part 4

I don’t know how much longer I can take this. Something has to change soon. I thought my companions and I were going to experience new opportunities to be free after we plundered and captured a new ship, but we are basically in the same spot we were before. Worst in fact. Some of the shipmates that have been friendly toward us have disappeared and we were sent on a tedious errand to fetch water.

We had to search an island with very little beneficial value to our goals. We found mostly hornets, dangerous creatures as we trudged through swamps, and a group of undead in an abandoned shack. All this for menial tasks given to us by an uncaring overlord.

What I wouldn’t given to get out from under the thumb of our current slavers and take that new ship and seek out our own adventure, one that will no doubt be more fulfilling.
